Rafael & Ki,

Your feedback is very helpful.  I will try both suggestions on our 'problem' XP machine.

Ki & Rafael,

I tried reinstalling the CCS MSP430 emulator portion w/o any luck.  I've captured a screen shot and attached what I consider to be the relevant error logs.  Again, I'm just curious how I'm supposed to interpret the error message displayed in the dialog box - it seems to be a fairly common error, and I was hoping that y'all could sleuth out what was causing it.

Just to clarify:

- This error dialog box appears after I launch the CCS application and click 'Target->Launch TI Debugger'.

- The Windows 'Device Manager' shows the MSP-FET430UIF-VCP device and indicates that the device is working properly.

I cannot even uninstall what I just installed because I get a "Error in action ExecuteScript"!

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Siraj.

I just installed CCS  Version: 4.1.2.00027  tonight.  It was bundled with the eZ430-Chronos Development Tool.  I can't get the debugger to connect, and I was going to try to reinstall.  However, uninstall doesn't work. I'm getting something similar to Siraj: Error in action ExecuteScript. The error dialog box is attached below.  I had installed it on a Win 7 x64 machine and to a non default directory.   Going back to a factory install on my PC is definitely not an option.

It would be helpful for us to retrieve the log files from your install and uninstall. They are located in C:\Program Files\InstallJammer Registry\ccsv4\DF98E52A-EF99-44CD-87FE-983EC4F3E105 and are called TI_CCSv4_install.log and TI_CCSv4_uninstall.log. Please attach them to your post if possible.

A quick workaround for the uninstall issue would be to just delete the CCS installtion folder. If you want to install to the same location again, you will also need to delete the C:\Program Files\InstallJammer Registry\ccsv4 folder as this is where the installation program keeps track of what is installed and where.

The script error message seems to indicate there is a permissions problem with an API being used in the uninstaller.We will have to investigate further.

I think I have attached the uninstall log.  The add/update button under options doesn't seem to allow me to add a 2nd file, and I can't see the uninstall log in the preview, so I won't know whether it uploaded until I hit post. 

Is there a better way to attach files?

Andy,

Here is my install log.  Thanks for your help. 

I'm going to try your workaround for uninstalling CCS. 

Regarding UAC, does this need to be disabled only during install or always when using CCS?  I see others saying that Defender and virus software also needs to be disabled during install.  Is this true?

I wasn't able to get debug to work.  I get an error dialog that says "error initializing emulator, Could not initialize device interface".  I'm wondering if this has something to do with a faulty install on my part (since I didn't disable UAC when I allowed an upgrade to take place after my initial CCS install). This is why I want to remove my install and start over again.

Thanks,

Bob

My Olimex LPT Programmer does still not work on XP SP3 with a target processor MSP430F5538 in CCS 4.1.2,

while it works with IAR Software. Is there a solution for CCS?

No connection is possible.
